First of all id like to give a huge thank you to I force nutrition for giving me the opportunity to log this product. A little background on my pre workout usage .......... I have tried almost every one out there, you nam eit I have probably tried it. The ones that i have used a full tub would be jacked, superpump 250, superpump max, wyked, white flood V1, napalm, shock therapy, original n.o. xplode, anadraulic state gt, and of course maximize V2.

current stats.... age - 22
weight- 145
lifting schedule/split - chest/bis, back, shoulder/traps, arms, legs...........
workout - usually start each workout with more of a power move.....lower reps not to failure, try to use bands if possible (band bench, jump squats, cleans) then go into hypertrophy work....i took about 2 weeks of jsut going short of failure or jsut to failure to ligthen up a littel bit, yest. marked my first day back at intensity techniques like drop sets and what not.
Diet- 3500 cals a day, carb cycle.....high days are 300/350/100 p/c/f mod days 300/200/166 off days are jsut protein and fat and usually shoot for around 2600 cals
Goals - put on sum damn weight....i was once a college football palyer, much bigger/stronger/faster lookin to get some of that back, i had gotten very sick...down to 112 lbs in the hospital and workin to try and get back....i also have testosteone issues, i have rescently entaken off hrt soooo im tryin out some DAA to hope it can do somethin for me

now to my initial thoughts on MAXMIZE INTENSE!!!!

taste - i mixed 1 scoop in about 20 oz of water which is kinda alot so it wasnt a strong taste at all....if u have tried V2 it is much less intense of a taste than that. Also V2 had a very strong smell to it, this does not....a different taste, not bad at all, not the best i have ever had but still very good, liek i said it was pretty diluted too.

mixability- thought it all dissolved right away but it didnt after abotu 5 min. there was sum on he bottom but i jsut shook it up a few more times and seen nothing after that, and no clumps or anythign so mixability was good!

-pumps - shoudler days dont usually give me too much of a pump for some reason but today there was defr sumthing going on haha.....even doing power movements of jsut 6 reps like banded military press i was getting a pump in my delts which is VERY rare since its low reps and presses are a compoun movement and arent compeltely focused on my delts......def noticed a huge pump after doing a drop set of high pulls on the smith machine which felt awsoem

- energy - i noticedit took a little longer to kick in than i thought it would BUT once it kicked in it was good stuff...i woudltn say it was CRAZY energy like some pre workouts give you, I had drank abotu a half cup of coffee and a cup of green tea before too.....and i didn't finish the full scoop so take it as u will with gauging it for now .......

- focus - honestly cant sy i noticed much of an intense focus but it was only the first tiem, i was pretty focused already soo i dunno....will def. keep an eye on this!

glad to have u guys in !....gonna make srue to take the full scoop tonight ....like i said i did one scoop but didnt finish it cuz i usually sip on my preworkouts throughout the workouts and i had plenty of energy, which is a damn godo thign if u ask me!...arm workout tonight so teh pump should be crazy, i will relaly be able to comment on that tonight, cant wait! also will be able to see how i can sleep after taking it al ittle later at night, wish me luck lol

today's workout was not the best, but for INTENSE id say it was a good day...... i say this because iw as waiting for my buddy to show up to workout and he was about an hour late sooo i was ready to go for a while and then when he did show kinda kept me outta my focus ya know, i liek to really zone in when i work out, and wasnt able to really ever do this...it also took a while which i wasnt happy with.......bu heres y i said intense shined.....i sipped on it throughout and never lsot energy even after 2 hours when we finallyleft (3 hours after i had started dirnking intense) i still had plenty of energy sooo A+ on that!

quick rundown of the workout.....was supposed to be an arm workout but kinda turned more into a chest workout cuz the gym we were at had chains and sum other fancy thigns we wanted to use.....

5x5 chain bench (actually shot a video of a set of these i will post when its up)

negative focused drop bench - hooks with weights are on teh bar but when u get to the bottom of the motion tehy fall off and then u do reps, so ur doing a negative with a lot of weight and then do actualy reps

135x10 (these are weights after the 70 lbs or so falls off)
145x8
155x8
175x6

me and a buddy shot a few videos on chain benching and squatting and sum glute bridges, hope to have them up soon and ill share jsut for the hell of it!...............i will update later with today's workout!

ok so today was a leg wrkout.....so of course i decided to take more than a scoop......also had some coffee before haha, liek i said im a bit of a stim junkie....anyways, never actually finished teh intense (pretty close though) but aain it was a very lon workout cz i was with my buddy again....a little more focused thouh cuz after the first 3 eercises we went off and id our own thing.......

intense worked great...although when i got to work after my pwo meal i felt a little hung over and out of is, hopefully that was from eating and not from the pre w/o cuz i hate getting that feeling i feel like i jsut wanna go to bed,

alright guys, back on that intense today for a nice chest/bi workout......I was able to lift by myself and really focus again....i usually have a hard ime gettin a good pump in my chest and really feeling my chest work, my other muscle just tend to take over, but today i was extra focue and mentally thought abotu contracting my pecs with each rep, if that meant lowering the weight than o well ......felt great, pumps were incredible for chest and bis, weight is not all that matteers, fucsing on contractions and slow eccentrics gave me one of the best pumps ive had in a long ass time , oo and im sure the intense didnt hhurt :-)

DB press with twist - i love the teisitng motion on flys and presses, really gives me a strong contraction at the top of the motion
30x15
35x12
35x10

chesst was pretty shot at this poit but still did 3 sets of wide drip BW dips with short rest periods, think i got about 15,12,12 with a few negative reps really slow on the last set

and a few high rep cable flys

for bis - barbell curl - strict form!

60x8
60x8
60x8
60x8 + 2 cheat reps then double drop 40,30

cable preacher curl....forgot weights, but sets were 12-15, 10-12, 10-12 with a drop on last set

incline curl - 15x15

17.5 x 12 drop 10x10
17.5x10 drop 10x10

intense def had me goin today, made sure to finish the whoel scoop today and felt great, more ocus and mroe pump than before, BACK TOMORROW..... gona try to relaly focus on contractions again, its hard for back though i jsu wanna move weight sumtimes haha

ok so today's workout was GREAT!!! i was pretty tired most of the day but i got an absolutely INTENSE focus goin on today and jsut felt on top of the world the whoel workout....got great contractions in my back and jsut overall a great back workout... quick rundown

yea went throghou alot gettin real sick and dorpping to about 100lbs.... thinking this is where my test stopped or around that time, im hoping as i put on weight it will start being made again....only thin gis its hard to put on weight with no testso i dunno maybe the DAA will help although i had taken it in the past, only other thing is we might try clomid (again).......... as for now all i can do is lift and eat and hope for the best and thats what im doing

glad you're liking it so far man! i know it was a few workouts back; but i TOTALLY feel you on the "gym partner showed up late" thing.....kids i used to lift with about 2 years ago, would always talk the night before and say "okay be at the gym for 10:30 tomorrow morning"....10:30 rolls around the next day, im getting ready to drive to the gym and the other 2 are still at home just having their morning cup of coffee...would spend so much time waiting around for them to get ready. this is why i lift alone these days

today was a LEG DAY!!! I felt fine going into the workout, legs actually felt fresher than normal but once the workout got going i jsut couldnt push as hard, i really dotn knwo y.....still did a full workout but i was kinda out of it for alot of the workout. I also felt liek i was gonna throw up any time i did a hard set after one of my heavysets of squats....i kinda looked at it as a good thing to begin with but then it kept happening and didnt think tha was good, probably should have stopped but i didnt..........

135x15
145x15
145x15

gonna need some serious recovery from that one......... well ill be getttin lots of protein bars at the arnold on sat haha

the fasted training was not too great....i used to LG and was pretty used to it, but to jsut throw it in esp. after a tough leg workout wasnt smart...i jsut wasnt completely there, this is also a reason i usually take the day after legs off...... well had two days off for the first time in a long time with the arnold yest and ltos of work today, the diet was **** at the arnold though, literally just protein bars on top of protein bars all day....ready to go for tomorow thouhg, can wait to train again!

dont know why but i tried to do bw pull ups and was shooting for 4 sets of 6-8 and only got 5 and 3 good reps without cheating so i jsut did weight pull ups on the machine...i really hate sucking at pull ups im gonna focus on them from nwo on i think, i dont liek doign them though cuz i suck at them lol, never been good at them, anyone got any tips for gettin good at pull ups?

my school gym has a cool rowing station on liek the cable station which has the footplatforms higher and the cable higher so u row pulling down towards you a bit so i took advantage of that but did it with an ez bar underhand grip.......

all isolation work i really focused on exploding the concentric, squeezing and then having a slow controlled eccentric...really feel the muscles working this way, really liking it!

75x15
90x15
105x15

lat pullover

105x12+3
120x10+5 drop 90x15

some calf work on a hack squat machine and seated calf raises, dont remember wights but i did 4 sets on each, first two sets were heavy 8-12 reps and the next 2 sets were high reps around 20......i get a horrible pain in my foot when i do calf raises though which makes it realyl hard to do them its not liek planter fasciatis or anyrthing either its a bone issue, i think i brok emy foot a long time ago but never got it fixed and now the bone kinda like pokes out, i dunno, i do what i can, im nto gonna go have my foot broken to fix it.

so far still loving htis, pumps energy focus all has been great, some days i dotn even finish it, i suualyl drink some coffee/tea befoe hand too though, and sip this throughout but just one scoop has still been giving me great energy throughout even a long workout like today!

uve never done reerse crunches......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfdmYbDczag only i do mine on a decline bench with my head at the top...maes it alot harder....trick is to only go down farn enough till ur back starts to come off the bench....u wanna try to keep ur lower back on the bench the whole tiem until the top of the motion wher u really squeee ur lower abs....u can also do it on a ball which is tuff

sooo i gotta be hoenst, i really didnt think i was going to train today, i had every intention too when i got up but after sitting through a new employee orientation(u know how much fun those are) i was absolutely dead , jsut wanted to sleep...fortunately we got out a littel early so i was able to run a few errands and that kinda woke me up...not totally though, i jsut pushed through i gues (whether i shoudl have or not....

anyways.... it was a leg day...and turned out to be a damn good one and i attribute alot of it to MAXIMIE INTENSE!!!!

mixed up about a scoop and a quarter and hit it hard..... went heavy to start on sets and pumped it out more towards the last few sets...think m gonna keep tryin this ou for a few weeks, i like the idea of relaly breakin down the muscle and then using hte higher reps towards the ned to relaly get the blood to the damaged areas......

started talkin to a buddy about a new way to hit my ass, he said sumo deads so i tried them .....

155x12
185x12
185x12....if u really focus on squeeing the glutes this def does the trick!....and i jsut realied i forgot to do leg ext....o well, im gonna have trouble walking for a few days as it is

pumps were relaly good, focus was good, and im really suprised i got such a good workout troday with teh way the day started....anyoen notice that sumtimes ur best workout s are when ur not feelign ur best,, i have a bit of a head cold too

another good way to hit glutes would be glute-ham raises, probalby my favorite for working the glutes and the top part of the hamstrings. Sumo deads are a great option too though.

Glad to see that Intense helped you push through that, I notice it really wakes me up since I train early in the morning, and I can say that I've had some pretty good workouts while feeling kind of crappy too haha.

And for abs, I usually stick to reverse crunches on the decline board. I feel like that's been the best ab exercise for me personally. Rope crunches and hanging leg raises are up there too
